I’ve played a good amount of Persona 3-5, Tokyo Mirage Sessions, and Metaphor: ReFantazio, but never managed to finish one — prob average 10-15 on most (sometimes more), and then get bored eventually. So I’ve just started a new run of Persona 5 Royal 😂

One of the things I was really hoping to see in the latest Nintendo Direct was a remake of or sequel to Adventure of Link. Gimme some 2D Zelda please.

A new comic series with full art by Jae Lee? Yes, and thank you.

I’m really into the new Mike D stuff — and it’s cool that his backing band, the 5D, includes two of his sons. Love this performance that starts with “Hello Brooklyn,” and then goes into one of his new songs. youtu.be/JBo8Zuxs2_E?...

Already had the Japanese edition, but happy to now have the English edition too (and thanks, @halcyonrealms.bsky.social, for making me realize it existed).

Looking forward to this.

Sometimes you just need to take a break, take the dog out, and treat yourself to a Frappuccino.

This morning’s lovely green milkshake was a winner — milk, greek yogurt, a banana, half an avocado, lemon juice, and some lakanto.

This was a really terrific take on Lucky Luke. Lovely art as well.

Maybe I was wrong, maybe First Light isn’t the best Bond game ever.

New Linda Lindas single, and it’s great! music.apple.com/ca/album/bur...

I sure loved Raygun magazine back in the day.

Steam Next Fest has started, and the first demo I tried playing is for Burn-9, which is kind of like the original Metal Gear game, but from the perspective of the ops manager (directing soldiers on the ground). Fun demo, I'd like to play more.

What's making me happy these days? I made a smart playlist that randomly compiles 25 tracks that I've "favorited" but that I've listened to the least. It's so good, and I'm constantly thinking, why don't I listen to this more? No music, no life.

Today’s double bill.

It was a long wait, but wow, issue 4 of Grampa’s Gargoyle of Gotham series was terrific.

Saturday morning breakfast of champions.

Started playing Double Fine’s Keeper this morning (via Game Pass). Wonderful game so far.

007 First Light is one of the best goddamn games I’ve played. Had so much fun playing through it. Thank you, IO Interactive. Hope you make another one.

Beautiful new portfolio site (for his illustration work) by my old friend Andrew Joyce. andrewjoyceillustration.com

Really enjoying the indie jangle-ness of this track, "Tell," by Touch Girl Apple Blossom. music.apple.com/ca/album/tel...

My FOTO5 for the week, following the theme “Summer Shadows.”

Was a bit surprised by some of these, didn’t remember disliking them that much.

Been eating pretty healthy of late, today is typical: milkshake for breakfast (with milk, Greek yogurt, mango, pineapple), and then the bento for my lunch.

Another graphic novel I really enjoyed — great Agatha Christie-inspired (and meta) murder mystery.

40th anniversary of Zelda, it’s time to do/announce something. Please.

Why does everything need to be turned into live action these days? Just make a good animated movie.

Over the weekend I caught up on the Alix Senator series (binged the last few books). So damn good, highly recommended if you read French.

I wish computers still looked like this.

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is a super interesting game, and I’m really enjoying my time with it. It’s all about constantly discovering new mechanics, and that’s how you get through levels (the mechanics come from interactions with new creatures). It’s really pretty too.

Had fun watching Summer Game Fest and Day of the Devs this morning — felt like waking up when I was a kid to watch Saturday morning cartoons. Lots I’m looking forward to playing, and really strong showing from Day of the Devs. www.youtube.com/live/QdNmVWX...

It's National New Guided By Voices Album Day (well, it was a few days ago). CC @patrickmacias.bsky.social music.apple.com/ca/album/cra...

June.

Time to start the June movie thread then! #filmsky

Happily reminded just how much I love this Rentals record. music.apple.com/ca/album/ret...

This new Absolute Green Arrow series is so good — or at least the first issue sure is good.

Super enjoyed this new series (two books out so far) — if you can read French, highly recommend it.

Tonight’s double bill.

Really fun commencement speech by Conan. youtu.be/F3fCktnkBbc?...

The regular series was definitely not as good as the two miniseries, but I sure loved me some V back in the day.

My FOTO5 for the week, for the theme “The Geometry of Sound.”

Pretty interesting article in terms of how we're (yes, I work at Ubisoft) using our game assets to support educational/museum initiatives (going beyond the AC Discovery Tour modes we've been doing for years). www.gamesindustry.biz/it-has-done-...

Wow, yeah, incredibly lame redesign.

Alright, let’s do this.

007 First Light is fucking great so far (having played the first hour or so). Feeling very Bond-y, and a great mix of Hitman and Uncharted in terms of gameplay.

I’m at Takashimaya, I just got my hair cut, so of course I’m now at Katsukura for some tonkatsu 😄🤘

Don't know about you, but for me, it's gonna be a Halcali summer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALW8...

Have I ever mentioned how much I love James Bond?

Sunday things.

Halcali 2026! youtu.be/_YShE6reM_w?...
